As Department Head of the Technical Services Division
at Fogler Library, I oversee the Serials and Electronic Resources Unit and
Cataloging/Metadata Unit. Responsibilities include direction for all processing related to serials including acquisitions,
cataloging and processing for URSUS and
binding as well as overseeing the work of the Metadata/Cataloging Unit which
addresses access to all of our monographic resources including electronic
formats. I also serve as Webmanager for
the Fogler Library web site.

I have worked on various team projects to increase public
access to information resources beyond the online catalog. I currently serve on both
Library and System wide committees charged with developing a digital library for the
University of Maine System. Other team efforts include: Maine Music Box
(Multimedia digital music library), Spatial Odyssey (a GIS full text
database), the Archives Imaging Project, and a published project to develop a
non-bibliographic database of community resources using the Community Information Format,
participating with the Library of
Congress Standards Office in refining the standard for national implementation.
